Crusader Kings II: The Old Gods Released

NEW YORK – May 28, 2013 – By
Odin's flaming eye, the heathens are invading! Paradox Interactive
and Paradox Development Studios are proud to announce that all
gamers can loot and pillage their way through Europe as a pagan
ruler in the expansion
Crusader Kings II: The Old Gods.

The fourth expansion to
Crusader Kings II, the critically praised strategy/RPG,
finally enables you to play as a Pagan, with particular focus on
the dreaded Vikings, and features a delicious blend of war and
pillaging with a dash of ruthless brutality thrown in for good
measure.

In
The Old Gods, the medieval soap opera now extends the
timeline by 200 years, all the way back to 867 AD, allowing bearded
heathens to storm the fine cities of Europe. Gamers will soon have
most of Europe out for their blood after they have stormed ashore
with gigantic axes in their hands.

In a gift so generous that surely a human sacrifice is required
in return, selected digital outlets are offering 75% off the entire
Crusader Kings II franchise until May 30th to celebrate
the launch of the expansion. To see a list of retailers offering
